Whisky’s World Record attempt

Deborah Punshon

A Scottish distillery is hoping to break a World Record for drinking a dram en masse.

Glenturret Distillery in Crieff wants the public to celebrate 240 years of making whisky in the first ever World Record setting attempt to bring together the largest number of people simultaneously raising a traditional Scottish dram.

The visitor attraction hopes that at least 240 people will visit the distillery at 5pm on Thursday, November 5 to help set the dramatic record and celebrate the distillery’s 240 years with a warming measure of The Glenturret Single Malt.

The World Record attempt and toast to The Glenturret’s heritage will be followed by a giant selfie to mark the special occasion.

Members of the public can sign up to take part by visiting The Glenturret
